Bankilal, Mexico
Ensambles (Importer) first discovered Altos De Chiapas in 2022, A region that is primarily inhabited by Tzeltal Indigenous communities. Thanks to the high altitudes and the fact that traditional varieties such as Typica and Bourbon are still grown here, the region has had a strong reputation within the specialty coffee industry. Los Altos is unique as a lot of traditional practices are still used and preserved; coffee plants are grown under the shade and protection of other tree species, promoting biodiversity and resilience for the plant.
Ensambles have field technicians on hand to train coffee farmers in the region, helping them better understand agronomic practices, harvest and post-harvest processes, and more environmentally responsible production systems. Ensambles aim is to help position the region within the specialty niche, improve the lives of the families living in the region and to better prepare in the face of climate change.

"Process" means the way that a coffee bean is removed from the coffee cherry. Anaerobic is an extra step of fermentation done before the coffee is processed either via the washed/natural/honey method. Anaerobic is a process which removes oxygen, the intact coffee cherries are sealed in airtight containers, and all oxygen is removed; creating an anaerobic environment. This lack of oxygen will slow down the process of fermentation, this forces more fruit flavours from the cherry into the bean. Different acids are developed during this process which can often lead to a brighter flavour profile. This extended fermentation results in a coffee with a more intense fruitiness, brightness and can often be described as funky.
